Inotropic action of hexamethonium.

چکیده
The positive inotropic action of hexainethoniuin in hypodynamic and freshly prepared papillary muscles of the cat and the hypodynamic heart-lung preparation of the dog has been demonstrated. Within certain limits, there exists a proportionality between the concentration of hexamethonium and the magnitude of the inotropic response. In both preparations results have been obtained which indicate that a state of partial refractoriness to the positive inotropic action of hexamethonium may be produced.

Direct positive inotropic effect of acetylcholine on myocardium. Evidence for multiple cholinergic receptors in the heart.
The effects of acetylcholine and nicotine on isometric tension, in the presence and absence of atropine, hexamethonium, and endogenous norepinephrine stores, were examined in isolated cat atria and papillary muscles. Acetylcholine exerted a negative inotropic effect, competitively inhibited by atropine, in atrial and papillary muscle; in higher concentrations in papillary muscles, it produced a...
متن کاملCombined inotropic and bradycardic effects of a sodium channel enhancer in conscious dogs with heart failure: a mechanism for improved myocardial efficiency compared with dobutamine.
We compared the cardiac inotropic, chronotropic, and myocardial O(2) consumption (MVO(2)) responses to the sodium (Na(+)) channel enhancer, LY341311 [(S)-4-[3-[[1-(diphenyl-methyl)-3-azetidinyl]oxy]-2-hydroxypropoxy]-1H-indole-2-carbonitrile monohydrate], with the beta-receptor agonist dobutamine in conscious dogs with heart failure. Heart failure was induced in chronically instrumented dogs by...
متن کاملSimulated microgravity produces attenuated baroreflex-mediated pressor, chronotropic, and inotropic responses in mice.
Whether myocardial contractile impairment contributes to orthostatic intolerance (OI) is controversial. Accordingly, we used transient bilateral carotid occlusion (TBCO) to compare the in vivo pressor, chronotropic, and inotropic responses (parts 1 and 2) to open-loop selective carotid baroreceptor unloading in anesthetized mice. In part 3, in vitro myocyte responses to isoproterenol in mice ex...
متن کاملRole of the thalamic parafascicular nucleus cholinergic system in the modulation of acute corneal nociception in rats
The present study investigated the effects of microinjections of acetylcholine (a cholinergic agonist), physostigmine (a cholinesterase inhibitor), atropine (an antagonist of muscarinic cholinergic receptors) and hexamethonium (an antagonist of nicotinic cholinergic receptors) into the parafascicular nucleus of thalamus on the acute corneal nociception in rats. Acute corneal nociception was ind...
متن کاملNegative inotropic and chronotropic effects of oxytocin.
We have previously shown that oxytocin receptors are present in the heart and that perfusion of isolated rat hearts with oxytocin results in decreased cardiac flow rate and bradycardia. The mechanisms involved in the negative inotropic and chronotropic effects of oxytocin were investigated in isolated dog right atria in the absence of central mechanisms. Perfusion of atria through the sinus nod...
